More particularly the'invention relates to controlling meansrtor time clocks of the type wherein Vtime is recorded by printing on av card'inserted in a card receiving slot in the clock case'.

to provide an improved ineansoperated by the passage of the employee which prevents stamping oit' the employees card. n A second yobject is toprovide improved means ot' time clock control which operates to prev-ent a card being stamped more than once during the passage of an employee past the clock. l Y A tliirdimportant object of the invention Y lis to provide improved time clock controlling mechanism 'which acts yto vprevent an employee 'fromV stamping more than one card during his movement past the clock.

Av fourth objectot the invention is to provide vanV improved time clock control which restrains the employee trom/leaving the vicinity ot' the clock Without operating the `stampingmechanism by the insertionnof card in the proper place.

Considering rst the turnstiles; lEaclrof kI 't' theseturnstiles consists f astandardfor base l which is in turn lpivoted on a cross shaft 53.

lOn thearm 46 is a stop pin 47 which is engaged by' theV frontl face of the arm V44 and is held in' suoli engagement by a spring 48 vconnecting the hammer and `upper end -of the lever 46.

will throw the hammerquickly lback to the typerolls or wheels and'thus print the card Pivot'ed at itsuppeivend to the leverv 49 is link 59 .which has its lower end connected t0 one arm of a lever 60 pivoted on the Cross shaft 61. `This lever 60 carries a pa-Wl 62 mounted on pivot 63 `'and held in normal` Y alignment with the lever 60 by `spring 64 having one of its ends secured at 65; In the path of the paivlthere is supported .a ratchetv 66. Thisfipavvland ratchet are so .arranged that the vpointof the pavvl 62 engages the ratchet teethj von Vboth the upper f `and Vdownward motion `of the trip' lever V60 in suoli manner that the lever must complete -its full movement beforeits return-vin 'the .Y oppositedirection canbe effected. This trip lever 60 is normally held in the position,

shown in Figure 7,.by means of the spring `132. Attached to thereverse rod 23 isa 1Ljbracket' 74 from' which are suspended the lguide rods 70. .On these rods slides! the Y crosshead 69 Which is normally forced dovvn- Ward by 4means ofthe spring 7 5. vOn' the erosshead 69,-is apin 71 which engages.y one arm of an inverted T-shaped lever v7 2 having in vits stem a slot 76. engaglnga pin 73 on .the rod 29.5` At 77is a rock arm-Which is fixed vupon ashaft 78pivoted inthe lower part Yof Tthe casing and the rock arm is adapt-ed, to bel restrained. from forvvardy Y movementby ineansof a latch 79 normally heldin 'engagement with pin 80 lforr'ning a limit stop by means ofy a-.spring 81 secured to a post 82.I vThe end .of the latch79 engages behind a shoulder 129 onthe arm 77 bntfis raised above lthisxshoulder byv the action of the lever 60 in striking a projec- V' tion .4127 on the latch,' upon depression-of A the lever49. On the arm 77 is a spring 85 vwhich forms .a latch foi-.the lever 60 Vwhen the arm 77 moves forward and' the lever 60 returns to its normal "position, shown 'in l,

Figure 7. Thus after 'one operation ofthe Y Y lever 49 a second operation is prevented;

Furthermore in order to render it impossible to insert la second cardthe lock shaft 78 is provided with rock arm 86 extending forwardly from the shaft and-connected'by a rod 87 with a 'bell crank levei 88 pivoted-p adjacent the chute 43 on a pivot 89 arranged A. to swing beneath the chute 43 andY close oft' admission of the cardsto the case ofthe clock. Thus when Vthe operating lever is depressednot only will it be preventedifrom .f v f a second depression but a. second card can not even Vbe inserted. A spring` 130V holds the arm 86 downward and at the' upper end of the rod 87gthere is provided a spring 131. l Y

providing a yielding connection between the. n rod 87 and bellVV crank. 88, so that as a card is put in vthe-chiite the chute'ivill b e closed until` the card is Withdrawn.

The several stepsl just describedV can be l clearly seenV by referring to Figures 10, 1v1

and 12. The lower endpofrthe clock operated shaft 40 is indicated at 9 0 (see'rFig. 8)*and at the bottom of this shaft isa worm 91 which meshes with afworm Wheel192viiXed on a shaft 104. .The operation of these parts is such that the Worin Wheel will rotate once i in twenty-four hours.A Arranged aboutthe to a post 101.".
